BRUNCH INSPO! ✨ It’s Friday, which means weekend brunch is just around the corner. (Can I get an AMEN?! 🙌🏻) So leaving you with a little combo inspo that I’ve recently been loving: feta cheese crumbled on top of some soft scrambled eggs 🍳 ...obviously with a side of non-starchy veggies to get in that fiber. 🌿🍄Personally, I love pairing it with sautéed spinach and mushrooms and some sliced avocado. 😋 See pic for plating! 🍽 ☝🏻#NCeats

BALSAMIC REDUCTION turns any boring dish into a super tasty and fancy feeling meal 😋💃🏼...which is exactly what happened with today’s lunch. ☝🏻 The best part? It requires just one ingredient and is so easy to make. 🙌🏻 Just pour balsamic vinegar into a small pot, bring vinegar to a simmer, and let it cook down with the top off until it gets nice and thick. Just make sure to stir it occasionally to make sure it doesn’t burn or stick to the bottom of the pan. Then pour the delicious goodness into a jar and keep it on hand to dress up anything you like whenever you want! #NCeats

NYC - lavender daisies look good on you 😍. This scene definitely helps waking up on a HUMP DAY after what seems like barely any sleep. 😵 Just a reminder that if you’re feeling STRESSED OUT, try finding an outlet OTHER than food to relax and reboot. Can you guess what mine is? 🌺🥀🌹🌷🌸🌼🌻 #NCtips

PSA: I think I finally NAILED IT! 🙌🏻 last week I posted about #kitchenfails and mine was this smoky “aioli” dip. I totally failed twice 😔, but I tried it again and the third time was most definitely the charm! ✨ In fact, I had people over on Friday night for tacos and it was a TOTAL HIT! 🌮🏆🙌🏻 I still want to re-test until I officially give exact measurements, but for the time being I’ll leave you with this: organic non-GMO firm tofu + chipotle peppers + lime juice + garlic + salt = So. Much. Yes. 😋

I think it’s safe to say there was a COLOR THEME to this week’s MEAL PREP! 🍊🏀🧡 I know they say to eat the rainbow🌈 ...and by “they” I mean annoying nutritionists like me 🙄🙋🏼‍♀️🤣 BUT the reality is, I was shopping quickly and didn’t really think about it, and now my veggies are all orange and you know what? That is NO BIG DEAL 🤷🏼‍♀️ because the stuff we do doesn’t always have to be PERFECT, as long as we’re trying and getting it right for the most part. So many people get hung up on the minutia of “eating well”...I can’t tell you how many times I get asked if carrots and beets have too much sugar. MY ANSWER: they may have more sugar than broccoli and Brussels sprouts, BUT no one gained weight from carrots and beets. Not only that, but carrots and beets have certain health benefits that you can’t get from broccoli and Brussels sprouts, so DON’T OVERTHINK IT! 🙅🏼‍♀️ Eating well doesn’t need to be complicated. In fact, the less complicated we make it, the more likely we are to stick with it and actually achieve and sustain those long-term wellness goals we’ve always been dreaming about! 💭💪🏻🙌🏻 #NCtips

🚨 Caught in the act of INDULGING! 🧁🍰🥧🍦If you’re a client of mine, you know what it means to have a planned, controlled indulgence AND STILL LOSE WEIGHT! People are so scared to tuck into a piece of cake or a slice of pizza because they think it will undo all the work they’ve done to lose weight...and when they finally do eat the cake or pizza (because human willpower is only so strong 🤷🏼‍♀️), they are totally overcome with feelings of guilt that they can’t even enjoy it! 🙇🏼‍♀️ And what’s worse? It often spirals into a binge because “...well, once I’ve fallen off the bandwagon, I might as well, right?!” 💁🏼‍♀️ WRONG! 🙅🏼‍♀️ What if we looked at indulging as PART of eating healthfully and not a deviation from it? 🤔💭 Well, for one - we’d actually enjoy it without any guilt 😋; we’d continue to lose weight ⚖️; we’d likely never binge again👍🏻; and it would actually motivate us to make healthy food decisions the rest of the week🍏 turning our “diet” into a sustainable lifestyle. 🙌🏻 BOTTOM LINE: go ahead, have the cake and eat it too! 🍰 #NCtips

REAL TALK: pictured is a smoky tofu dip, that I just can’t get right! I’ve tried it twice now and both times, it just didn’t turn out how I wanted it to. 🙇🏼‍♀️ I told myself I’m going to try one more time, and I’m hoping it will be a winner. 🙏🏻 But the POINT IS: not every experiment in the kitchen will turn out amazing, and THAT’S OKAY! 💁🏼‍♀️ It’s about not following a recipe and just trying new flavors, combinations, ideas, and most of all, HAVING FUN! 🤗 Have you guys had any major fails in the kitchen? If so, would love to hear! ☺️

My friend in spin class this morning was telling me all about her amazing banana bread recipe and it got me DAY DREAMING all day 😋💭 about mine (☝🏻) , I just had to post! This banana bread uses ingredients you can FEEL GOOD about (think: oats, bananas, olive oil, Greek yogurt)...but heads up: the PORTION CONTROL is on you! 😉 Also, it’s gluten-free for my GF crowd and egg-free so my husband can lick the batter. 🤣🥄😋 Doesn’t get more crowd-pleasing than that! For the FULL RECIPE, head on over to the blog (link in bio ☝🏻) and search “banana bread” 🧐. #NCrecipes

PSA: chicken soup season is almost over! 🍲 I made this huge batch the other week and now have a ton leftover in my freezer. 🙃 You will most definitely be seeing me make my way through it over the next few weeks because as soon as spring gets here I know it just won’t taste the same. 😉
